just keeps getting better..... http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/i...mp;section=News

I know , but I'm not telling....

Lets compare to a similar situation. Like the one with REA lead by Todd Berning, and the REA now lead by Jody Hodgson. When the REA 1st open it was lead by Todd Berning, who ended up being a crook. He alienated the coaches, athletic staff, and his own employees. Rumors where running wild, for years 1-4 REA lost huge amounts of money and did not help UND Athletics, pissed off fans, alumni. Then they hire a new director who has been able to communicate with coaches, athletic staff, and his employees is hard working and has been well received and respected, and I might add honest. Why would changing AD be any different. To my knowledge Jody is not a member of the "Good Old Boys" Do your job and you will succeed.

I think it is obivious now that the "good old boys" won't be funding the move with Tom Buning as the AD. What remains to be seen is how long Phil Harmeson will last, I can not believe this helped his presidency hopes?

Who is left ?

Phil Harmeson will be the next AD at UND..... At least on a interm basis....

Anybody ever think it was"Tom Buning" himself who leaked this...?

This was very disturbing, We need to clean house our Asst Athletic Director of Operations should help the AD pack the Van. We also again had trouble with Audio and Video feeds on the website, May not be directly his fault, but I do believe it is his responsibilites on both counts.

The "Big News" proves one thing that this board dicussed at length a while back, should insider information be kept inside the circle? I really believe this latest event was to not be announced til Monday, and the only people who actually know how it came down have to be the President, Mr. Harmenson, and Tom Bunning. It is now apparent that they could not keep it to themselves, or their inner circle of friends.

I do not think we will be seeing alot of sideline "Pushups" in the future.

Want to spice up the thread? Someone should ask both Sarah and Lora Petrik why they left? Who they just could not work with anymore?

I wonder if Tom and his family have their tickets and passes yet....?

Apparently the administartion is not ready for some football.... Tonite is the night before the 1st game and none of our Football Coaches, Support Staff, and Trainers ect... have not received anything in the way of.... Parking Passes Tickets for Family Field Passes Press Box Credintials Maybe the LTC and Shep should get off the lake long enough to take care of business...? Someone tell them school started on Tuesday, the 21st.....but practice has be going on for the last MONTH..!

I had to look it up.... http://www.merriamwebster.com/dictionary/suffice never went to college...... but I know for sure "Hak" does not trust the LTC

There will be tailgating at the Alerus. You will have to pay to park and there may be a additional fee for tailgating (larger spots). I believe that the FSC tailgating tent will be discontinued, which is sad. They continue to take away from FSC members while asking for more money...?

I believe it was put on a back burner....and now as part of Dale Lennon's negotiation to stay it was promised to happen soon, upgrades to both the practice turf at Memorial (Which is Horrible) and a Field Turf at the Alerus (Problem with storage is going to hurt, also field turf can not be rolled up, so install and removal will take more man power)

Grand Forks needs outside business to grow......But next time you need a donation, or a sponsor for your team or group....? Try and solicit a "Major Chain".....Go to Menards, Lowes, Super Target, Kohl's, and the likes... The door will hit you in the face! Where as , The Red Pepper, Italian Moon, Wendy's, Pita Pit, Dakota Sales, Mckinnon Co., Southgate, El Roco just to name a few will continue to "Give" and "Donate".....

Rob Bollinger and Jeff Bowen (both now gone) greatly assited in getting hockey players not only back for this event (held same time every year) but also in giving funds for support of UND athletics. IMO with the handling of the Womens Hockey hiring and the loss of key individuals in the support staff, we have some Hockey Players and Alumni that are expressing their disatisfaction by their lack of support.

after reading this I understand why today's Sioux-per Swing was the lowest attended in the last decade, only four former hockey players in attendance, only one head coach played with a handful of other asstiants. Most alumni, and boosters spent the entire day grousing about our current leadership, actually quite sad

I'm guessing the over/under is 7 people attending. That are not either players, related to players, or UND staff?

I moved here 30 years ago population was around 48,0000...2nd largest City in the State. Now 30 years later we have grown to a whopping 52,000...3rd maybe 4th largest City in State. The truth is that the City of Grand Forks is a aging population with a very small % of students staying after they graduate. We have no "Great Paying Jobs" in Industry / Technology / Manufacturing. Fargo's Micorsoft announces 100 jobs at the begining of this year that start for college grads at 100,0000 per, Grand Forks L & M Fiber announces 200 jobs for 13-15 dollars per hour. Until Grand Forks is able to secure some form of attractive High paying jobs, we will continue to lag behind in population. I believe it is a great place to live and raise a family, but you can not ask college grads to stay for 20-30,000 a year. I have seen alot come back into the community when a higher job opens up in the educational field (UND) or medical profession (Altru). Fargo in this same 30 year period has grown from 60,000 in 1977 to well over 90,000 and if you included West Fargo, Morehead and surrounding areas, I think they are close to 150,000.

A couple of weeks ago a several meetings were held at the Canad Inn pertaining to the Div 1 move, in paticular Football. Alot of past Coaches were in attendance as were major alumni and supporters.... Tom Buning was not there, I was told he was not invited (By Coaches and Alum).... This seems really odd to me, that the Athletic Director would be left out, or not show up....? Anyone have any answers.....?

This is hilarious....If either Roger Thomas or Rob Bollinger were the AD, we would not be entertaining the possibility of losing Dale Lennon....

When will the Sioux Men get thier 1st? Funny how much patience we have with a new coach, If Rich were still here with no conference wins this board would be lit up!

The defense attorneys must do a complete and through job, the last thing I believe anyone would wants in this case is any appeals. Just for information purpose, Robert Hoy is the father of sioux men"s hoopster Jimmy Hoy. My two cents... When this is all said and done Mr. Rodriguez Jr. will have taken his last breath.
